Yes it is. You need a host USB adapter like one of this
I have one 4 in 1 adapter that have USB, MicroUSB and Memory Slots, portable hard drive also work in it.

Is ur portable hard drive in NTFS file system? if so, what app do u use to read files in NTFS system? I believe the stock app doesnt have support for NTFS system..

But, I would recommend that any storage you want to use with the tab be Fat32 format, since that is native.

Hey guys as the title say I want to know can we connect our device A110 to any hard disks so that we can use extra data.
I am able to watch 720p movies of size larger than 4gb via usb otg on the A110.
If we can connect it with any portable hard disks it would if great.

+1 it can not work, bcoz it can support upto 32 gb of space only.
worked for me

Good +1
you powered the drive externally with the converter...
i think power is the issue here and not the memory capacity
yes

So maybe there can be some mod which can make the device use more power to run the drives that could be very useful
for all those who failed to connect usb hdd, please check its format...NTFS file system is not supported as of now .. convert to fat 32 and try again...

be careful when you use mods that tamper with the USB power. you may burn it and render the usb useless even for charging perhaps. the OTG is to be used in a controlled manner. there are enough warnings not to be used for a long time continuously. just do a google and you will come to know.

hmm maybe you are right but I've seen some tablets and even some chinise phablets run the hard disk via otg
If someone knows how much power is required to run a specific portable hard disk (maybe different disk use different amt of power) and can mod the usb output power we can beta test that mod and see if that cause any damage to either of the devices

ntfs system is not the problem..
I use my 16gb sandisk pen drive with ntfs file system
it can be mounted using the paragon ntfs & hfs+ software..
the main issue is the power that is supplied the the device via usb otg if that can be controlled safely to run the drive it will allow a110 users to use their portable disks

Hi, when I plug in my usb memory nothing happens, I installed USB OTG Helper and I get code 5, I already tried another memory card and it doesn't work either, however, I tried a mouse and it works perfectly, what can I do?
Maybe only FAT32 file system is accepted.
The usb disk is formatted in NTFS or FAT32?

I just checked and it is FAT32, I have never used OTG so I don't know what to do...
EDIT: I just checked OTG Troubleshooter and it even says the model of my usb memory stic so I'm guessing the issue is I can't/don't know exactly how to acces the data on it

It might be worth the $4 for Nexus Media Importer available on the Play Store. I tested it on the Moto G and it's working flawlessly. Keep in mind there's always the off chance your OTG cable is incompatible.
I have the same problem after updating to kit kat (only works wireless keyboard), in 4.3 all worked perfectly. All usb has mounted with FAT32 system.
Sorry for my english.

Are you sure that you used a third party tool to mount the USB? KitKat doesnt support OTG anymore/at the moment.

Yeah that seemed to be the issue I installed stickmount and that seemed to do the trick however the app that I used previously gave code 5 and didn't work,thanks!
Hi all, I wanna drop a query here.
Did any body tried to connect Western Digital Hard drive to Note Pro 12.2? I did everything, but really, I was disappointed because I wasn't able to connect it using OTG Cqble.
What format is it? I haven't been able to get ntfs to work yet, each of my drives show up as blank drives. I'm not about to change them to another format just for this tablet... migrating files off and then back on after formatting wouldn't be worth my time.

I was able to connect both an NTF and. EXFAT drive to my unrooted NotPro. Had to use special software of the ntf and then it was read only. With the exfat it is r/w and connects with native software.

You mean that if I will root my NotPro, then I will be able to connect my 1TB to it, and transfer files, or only reading?

If you are willing to root you can connect an NTFS drive and read or write to it. Not sure it matters what size
If you are not willing to root you can only read ntfs but can read/write an exfat drive. Mine is 1Tb. I believe exfat does have a size limit but not sure what it is.

Ironically is not as clear cut as that. I'm rooted and had issues with NTFS. Not sure why, but my 64 gb usb flash drive formatted NTFS would not work, neither would a 1tb Western digital passport. I tried stickmount, paragon and usb otg helper. Eventually dumping all three apps and formatting the flash drive to exfat was the only solution that would work. I'm only monkeying around so I'm not about to try to backup the hard drive to another one just to reformat it to exfat. I guess I'll buy a hard drive someday for this tablet. .. I'm starting to think that exfat is the most reliable way to ensure compatibility.

Well - yes and no.
I've just ordered this tablet and am very exited.
Regarding ntfs:
I tried this on my Note3. Yes i could read/write ntfs drives.
However I could only read 1 logical drive.
I had a 64 Gig stick partitioned in 2 logical ntfs drives. I could only access/detect one of them.
I read that this somehow relates to SE-linux in "enforcing" mode.
Couldn't figure out how to set to "permissive". A simple shell command didn't work. Yes I tried SU'ing the command as well.
Will try to find that post again.
If it is a se-linux related issue it stands to reason that it'll translate to Note Pro as well - doesn't it?

I currently have this setup.. The problem that I'm running into is connection.
When I connect it to the phone it will recognize the USB Storage device and then disconnect almost immediately.
Could it be that the stock rom does not support it?
I think that's the cable.
Happened to me too at my Note 8.0. I must hold the OTG cable if gonna use that
If the kernel in the rom not support it, it won't read the external storage at all

But the cable is 100% snug fit.
hmm that's weird..
have you try with others cable ?
or try those setting in other device that support the OTG

Haven't tried another cable... Maybe time to buy another one? Could it be the usb stick? doubt the usb stick has problem since it's so new
I have the same setup since the Note 2 and tried it on the Note 4 and it works just fine. I would try another cable or try another drive. I just tried with my external hdd and it works fine too.

Which cable are you using? Where did you buy? Seems like there are a lot of OTG cables that look the same.

Bought mine from Dealextreme long ago.
Try formatting the USB either NTFS or FAT32 and check! I remember that stock Rom/Kernel supports one specific format. Post back if you tried the above said

I think it's the FAT32, I can't use my external HDD which has NTFS format. But thats in my galaxy note 8, haven't got my note 4 yet as I'm waiting for the bronze gold one.

Maybe you should try it with other device man, if it doesn't work, then it's time the change the cable. I'm about to reply it earlier, but posting something on xda trough samsung web browser take me to vBulletin page, I don't know why.
It is FAT32 that is needed. I originally had my 126GB PNY drive (just like yours) formatted NTFS and it did not work.
Interestingly, it appears to also work with exFAT.
For larger files than 4 gb you need to format you media in exfat format. Just plug into your pc and format in exfat. Ntfs is possible with root and programs like paragon or nexus .

Hi,
Is there a way to read/write to NTFS HDD on my sm-p605 on stock ROM? My device is rooted.
Ive tried using paragon from playstore but it does not mount.
Kindly help if you can. Thanks

Do you mean read/write to your PC HDD?
If not your phone does not have a HDD, instead it uses flash memory not formatted in NTFS

Well If it's a USB HDD it is unlikely to work as mobile phones don't offer enough power over USB to keep an HDD running (Not any that I have tried anyway) but if it is in another PC or NAS then you should be able to as there are many apps (Not that I can remember any but I'll have a look)
